Now that the dust has settled, who was in the wrong here? Do scientists have a duty to consider the political ramifications of their findings before publishing their work? What is the proper way to handle scientific discoveries that challenge popular ideology?

Is it mangling the scientific process if your paper passes two separate rounds of peer review? If anything, it seems like this is indicating a flaw in the scientific process itself.
>In September 1999, the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), upon a request by the APA to independently review the article, stated that it saw no reason to second-guess the peer review process that approved it initially and that it saw no evidence of improper methodology or questionable practices by the authors.
